Effect of irrigation method on the transfer of polluting elements in soil to groundwater

The purpose of this research is to apply a mathematical program to calculate water and chemical balance in unsaturated soils, under the influence of different methods of irrigation, in order to monitor the amount of vertical drainage of water inside the soil and choose a irrigation method that can reduce the phenomenon of groundwater pollution. Three irrigation methods were tested with different fertilization method. The study was conducted in the western part of Homs Governorate (AlQusair orchards).
